If you travel to Mars, you just might be able to see the blue aurora lights of the red planet.
Scientists now think that Mars might also have aurora displays that can be seen with the naked eye, like Earth's. According to a new report from NASA, the European Space Agency and other partners, this makes Mars only the second rocky planet expected to have auroras visible to the unaided eye.
Auroras on Earth happen when energetic particles sent out from the sun collide with the planet's magnetic field, pulling those particles to the planet's poles, where some of them interact with the upper atmosphere.
